ABSTRACT

Objective. To study the relationship between bullying behavior and psychopathology. Materials and Methods. A total of 1 092 students identified their peers’ bullying status based on the Bull-S questionnaire. Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) to determine psychopathology levels. Results. The bullying group had associations with anxiety, somatic symptoms, oppositionalism and behavior problems; the bully-victims group had associations with attention, oppositionalism and behavior problems; victims had higher anxiety scores. These differences were significant compared with the control group. Conclusions. Bullying is associated with psychopathology, which requires timely psychiatric attention.
